Gregor Piatigorsky in Berlin - in the middle of the 1920's

from Cellist- Gregor Piatigorsky, pages 120-121:

I wish all young musicians could have witnessed the enthusiasm with which Schnabel and Flesch reacted to the Ravel Trio, which was new to them. / “Artur, stop, let us play this phrase once more. I think I found something that will even ‘over-French’ Jacques Thibaud.” / “Friends, listen. How do you like this pedal here?” Schnabel asked. “So clouded, yet clear.” I listened to his caressing and velvety sound.
